Literacy skills predict probability of refusal in follow-up wave: evidence from two longitudinal assessment surveys

The integration of innovative technologies creates a circular economy (CE) system that enhances the value and legitimacy of their trade. Recently, many global industries have shifted their focus towards product-service system (PSS) to perpetuate in today's competitive market without negatively influencing the environmental detrition and retaining the extended producer responsibility (EPR). Thus, this study will advance an understanding of how I4.0 technologies derivate renewables from waste to create sustainable energy sources rather than consuming virgin resources (normally considered a linear model) from a data management and product lifecycle perspective. This research used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology to analyse and categorise a literature survey of 126 research articles published over the years (2013–2022). The analysis indicates that the early research is mostly focused on defining the key variables (CE, I4.0 and PSS) and developing various frameworks to promote eco-efficient services and sustainable development using I4.0 technologies and is engineering focused. It is established that two propositions leverage CE; the first one is value co-creation, which enhances perceived value. In contrast, the other one is related to the application of data-driven platforms using I4.0 technologies for sculpting the strategy and other decision support. More studies need to be analysing CE, I4.0 and PSS. To support researchers, managers and policymakers, this study has analysed the applicability of theoretical propositions regarding the application of I4.0 technologies with CE and PSS and presented a theoretical framework for the I4.0-enabled share platform that may be tested using empirical data.

The role of industry 4.0‐enabled data‐driven shared platform as an enabler of product‐service system in the context of circular economy: A systematic literature review and future research directions

To stay competitive in facing stiff competition, trucking companies need innovative capabilities. While much works related to innovative capabilities have been published in various sectors, we barely find any that specifically address trucking industry, especially in the era where the advancement of emerging technologies provide both opportunities and challenges. This paper investigates factors affecting the innovative capability of the trucking companies and how this innovative capability influences competitive advantage in the era of industry 4.0. The data of 423 respondents are gathered from a survey of trucking companies in Indonesia. Five hypotheses were developed and tested using partial least squares - structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The result reveals that technology capability and market orientation significantly affect innovative capability. On the other hand, innovative capabilities of trucking companies do not seem to be affected by their relationships with suppliers. The innovative capability significantly affected the trucking company's competitive advantage, but industry 4.0 does not moderate this impact. The finding provides helpful insights for managers and serves as interesting triggers for further research.
